While every one is fighting over whether he is really dead or not, no one finds it strange that this guy and his boss both shot themselves in the same month. Maybe they were both were involved in something bad enough that they felt this was the only option.

Since the headline cries "Found Dead" and further in it says " being investigated as a suicide", my guess would be the reporter meant to say "apparent suicide". Just another innocent victim of poor composition and lack of proofreading. Furthermore, if all news releases depended on named sources and not requested anonymity, there just wouldn't be a lot of news released. Your point…

Obama appears to have a hatred for Israel and Netanyahu when he proposes the return to the 1967 boundaries. There will never be a two state solution as long as the Palestinian Authority and Hamas call for the destruction of Israel. Obama is naïve to think that these three groups will get along and co-exist peacefully. The only solution to this mess is when one of the groups completely destroys the…

QND Annual Fund Drive goal is $418,000

Each year, two chairpersons take up the fundraising challenge to invest in future leaders of the community. This year, Ralph Oakley and Jennifer Winking ’84 are joining over 60 others who previously have donated leadership to the campaign as general chairpersons.

The business phase of the campaign, which has four divisions, runs for six weeks starting today.

The parish phase titled “QND Commitment Sunday” will be held March 1-2, 2014, in Quincy and Hannibal, Mo., Catholic parishes.

The final phase of the drive, held May 5-15, is the Annual Alumni Phon-a-thon during which QND students, alumni and friends will contact out-of-town alumni for support.

What exactly is the QND Annual Fund Drive?

Dollars raised through the Annual Fund provide support for the operating budget each year. Tuition and fees do not cover the full cost of educating a student at QND (cost per pupil $5,850; tuition $4,900). The Annual Fund helps make up the difference after tuition revenues and other grants are exhausted. The Annual Fund donations are used for the present school year.

How can my gift make a difference for QND?

Every gift - no matter what size – makes a difference! Last year, gifts to the Annual Fund provided more than $400,000 in support of the school. Your generosity has an immediate effect. Gifts are added to the operating costs for the current year. What’s more, your support encourages others to give. Many foundations and corporations that offer financial support and other assistance are reassured of the integrity of Quincy Notre Dame because strong supporters are at the heart of its own community.
